Re: tan interior rare ?
I wouldnt say rare...just a bit less common than the normal black, red, grey. Grey was probably the most common third gen color followed closely by black and then red. I would put a want ad in the classifieds or just keep looking. Grey is ok but not as nice and eye catching as tan is IMO.

Re: tan interior rare ?
Tan gathers/shows dirt faster than any standard interior color i've ever seen. you couldn't pay me to opt for a tan interior. :/
yuck!

Re: tan interior rare ?
And you couldnt pay me to have a grey one cause they are boring and everyone else has one lol. I love a red interior in these cars but i know im one of the few. Red does date them a lot but...they are 80s cars after all

Re: tan interior rare ?
id think red gathers dirt just as efficiently as tan, does it not?

Re: tan interior rare ?
my car had that ugly beige interior.i changed it out to black except for the seatbelt parts im missing.
Re: tan interior rare ?
My car came with the same boring grey interior that 95% of these cars came with. I have always thought that the red interior was the coolest interior choice. Unfortunately my car is blue, so no red interior for me.

Re: tan interior rare ?
I am kicking around changing my carpet to black with all the Beechwood interior.... I think it would make it more modern plus I love black carpet. Anyone done this? I know there is beechwood on the lower door panels and on kick panels and consolde (easy fix) but I think the black would accent all the other black on the interior plus we need new carpet anyway since ours is faded.

Re: tan interior rare ?
I was going to do that also at one time, even buying all the stuff. But changed my mind. Hey rarebmx i have a good tip for you about the seat belt red release button. If you take some vaseline and let it set on there a day or more, they will go back to there nice rich red color! Mine look like new and I do it everytime I detail the inside. Just rub some on and off after you get the color back.
I would NEVER dye all my plastic, I would rather sell it and find black since it is so much more common. I cringed when I saw the post above painting all the hard to find Beechwood to black when black is in every junkyard.

Re: tan interior rare ?
There was a time where I was thinking about painting with the best spray you can use SEM paint. Good stuff. But a friend of mine did it and I realized I like mine so much better. I would have given him two black pieces for two beachwood I needed. To late. I need the two seat belt square rear covers for mine.

Re: tan interior rare ?
I have the tan interior. I'd trade for black except the headliner and carpet. But trade everything else straight across. The sills are shattered on the drivers side due to a import hitting the drivers door hard as hell.

Re: tan interior rare ?
Do you got both driver and passenger ones? It would make more sense to do them both at the same time.

Re: tan interior rare ?
My '84 has tan interior, however, the head liner, sail panels, and visors have all been changed to black. Believe me, this made a HUGE difference at how well the car looks. The next step is black floor mats to even everything out.

Re: tan interior rare ?
My '84 has a tan interior, and I think it compliments it quite well. I wouldn't change it, especially since the car is painted frost beige. Thats one of the things I liked best about the car when I bought it.

Looks like we have the exact same color combination. There are only 2-3 other people on the boards that have the cream exterior.

Re: tan interior rare ?
I can honestly say I have only seen one other Z28 the same colour as mine, around here, and that guy painted it white when he had it repainted.
